If you have a question that is not answered by a thread or the FAQ or FYI Sections, start a new topic (make sure...

Probably not too much better. You want something light, like aluminum foil. The idea is to have a high burst pressure with minimal risk of injury. I would think that flying bits of sharp plastic would probably cause injury.

I don't think that wood or other materials would be suitable for a burst disk, as the nature of wood under stress is to splinter... combined with the propulsion by compressed air = shrapnel...

Take the electric solenoid pack off and drill a hole thru the very corner of the bottom of the cavity. The air will flow faster. Make sure to cement any other flow holes, as there are often redirect holes for liquids. Just get the appropriate adapter from a hardware store and put an air fitting over...

Have you thought of modding the blowgun valve? It helps it dump the air a lot faster. I do not believe a modification would be absolutely necessary... The trigger used here is not a blowgun, rather a remote tire filler for big trucks. It is specifically designed to A) have a higher airflow due to l...

The compressor was purchased at harbor freight tools. I actually used components from two different compressors, but the the motor and pump assembly came from same unit. The guage in the compressor housing came from another small compressor. One would have been enough but I thought the fit was bette...

You guessed it - drinking straws crammed into a small 1" dia pipe with a retaining screen to keep them arranged properly. You would notice a slight twist in the arrangement if looking on from the front.

Thanks for the notes on the pressure, do know that It will never get charged higher than 125-150 PSI. I Manage a truck garage and am very familiar with what happens with excess, uncontrolled power. Bearing that in mind, you should never reach more than 85% load capacity for fear of invisible stess d...

It was test fired this afternoon, But i Have no specs as to how far or fast it fires, until the weather gets nice. It does, however, function flawlessly. Fast release.

If it dies, I will get a 12v Drill and put a more serious motor on board. Likewise, I will also have a rechargeable battery pack in that case.

It boasts a fully metal construction, with the exception of the air valve, which is PVC. The Barrel Is 36" Long and the unit...

I am currently building a pneumatic with on-board air. I'm sure you'll find a solution.

BTW spudkiller... Instead of repeat posts, you can edit your originals to save space.

The purpose of the mine is to get paint or another contaminant on the player, in which case the bottom of the foot still counts. If you wanted to get interesting and disperse more paint, you cound cut channels into the top flange for the paint to escape thru, even when the hole would be covered with...
